Leonardo Musso, Chief Executive Officer of KPS AG, commented: "In the financial year 2018/19, we were able to increase our revenues to EUR 180.7 million and, with an EBITDA margin of 12.5%, are still above the sector average. Total expenses remained unchanged from the previous year and the consolidated net income increased by a solid 24.5%. We were able to further diversify our customer base both geographically and across sectors and build a balanced project portfolio. Our consulting and product portfolio continues to be of high strategic relevance for our customers. In parallel, we are increasingly carrying out projects from remote locations, supported by digital concepts and the right technologies. This also allows us to keep our cost structures flexible. This not only underlines the success of our business model, all these measures have also benefited us particularly during the Corona crisis. We were able to react very quickly and our home office employees were able to support our customers in their projects as usual. As a result, we have been able to cushion the impact of the corona crisis on our consolidated revenues this year. We believe that we are still on the right track with our current business performance. We thank our employees, customers, suppliers and also our shareholders for their broad support and commitment. Only this has enabled us to master this crisis, to keep our employees and to maintain our services for our customers nearly frictionless and with the accustomed quality."
